That's right! We finally know the reason John Edwardsdecided to split with Rielle Hunter!

The mistress-turned-mother revealed on Good Morning America this week that her relationship with the former presidential candidate was over. However, she wouldn't say who called it quits or why because "that's private."

Not anymore! Sources are saying that Edwards DUMPED her because his daughter, Cate Edwards, gave him the ultimatum to choose between Rielle or her.

Since the 30-year-old lawyer was offended by Rielle's version of What Really Happened, a source has explained:

Cate Edwards daughter of 2004 presidential candidate John Edwards is getting married to her longtime boyfriend, Dr. Trevor Upham this weekend!

The ceremony will bitter sweet. Cate planned her wedding with her late mother, Elizabeth, in the weeks prior to Elizabeth's death last December.

"I feel so lucky to have shared that joy with her, to have had the time to leaf through bridal magazines together and talk about the wedding. Even though I've had to plan the wedding without her, I feel blessed because, in her last weeks, she told me she was comforted to know I'd set forth on my own life path, with someone she loved and respected, and with whom she truly believed I would be happy."

AW! At least she knows her mom approved!

The biggest piece of advice Elizabeth gave her daughter? Cate says,

"Mom advised me to think carefully about the ceremony: It could be an important map, she said, for our life together."

Her family will take part in the North Carolina nuptials. Her 13-year-old sister, Emma Claire, will be maid of honor, while their brother, Jack, 11, will be a groomsman.

Cate Edwards, the daughter of the late Elizabeth Edwards, says she will be thinking of her mom as she walks down the aisle for her upcoming wedding.

Getting ready for the big day, Cate says that before her mother passed away in December 2010, they had a chance to talk about the big day and what it would really be like.

Cate adds:

"[My mom] was so happy because she loves my fiancé [Trevor Upham] and knew that I was on this path that she was happy with and comfortable with.

We talked a lot about the wedding and little details, and I'll obviously be thinking about her a lot that day.

Her outlook was 'Nothing is impossible.' She never gave up hope even in her last week of life; she never gave up hope that a cure could be out there and that she could beat this. Big choices that I make … little choices that I make, sort of everything I do, I hear her voice the same way I did when she was alive."

It'll be quite an emotional day for Cate and her entire family. Elizabeth was a wonderful woman. She will be in everyone's thoughts the day her daughter walks down the aisle.

The National Enquirer is reporting that before her death, Elizabeth Edwards managed to exact the ultimate revenge on her cheating, dirtbag husband, John Edwards, by recording a secret videotape in which she revealed everything she knew about his affair with Rielle Hunter and its subsequent cover-up, so she could pass it along to the prosecutors investigating him for campaign finance violations!

According to sources, Edwards reached out to her daughter, Cate, in December of 2010, and forced her to agree that if anything were to happen to John, she would take care of their younger children. That's when shiz got real!

The insider explains:

“Elizabeth wanted to exact revenge against John for destroy­ing their 33-year marriage and family by cheating with Rielle. It was Elizabeth’s idea to secret­ly record a video and tell what knew of the affair and John’s horrific betrayal. It was then – without Cate’s knowledge – that Elizabeth turned the video camera on herself. She passed the video to a close friend and asked that it be sent to prosecutors. On the secret video, Elizabeth spells out EVERYTHING she knew. Elizabeth wanted to haunt John and Rielle – literally from her grave – and she has."

Elizabeth Edwards is battling terminal breast cancer, but denies that she is trying to ensure custody of her two youngest children will go to her eldest daughter Cate.

Rumors were flying that Elizabeth was grooming Cate, a 28-year-old Harvard-educated lawyer, for raising her younger siblings Emma, 12 and Jack, 10 after their mother had passed in order to keep the children from her husband John Edwards and his mistress Rielle Hunter.

"The story is not true," Elizabeth said. She also said that no other family members would get the children and that they would go to John.

But now, the younger sister of Louis, Félicité Deakin (pictured above, left, with Louis), has figured out her own way to pay tribute to her mother in a very special manner, and we are SO touched by it.

On Friday, the 16-year-old Deakin shared the following image (below), a gorgeous portrait of the family with her late mother, Johannah Deakin, surrounded by all of her children:
